Abstract. The rapid advances in computer technology give regional scientists the opportunity to employ data sets that are much larger than those currently in use. Increasingly, metadata are being created in order to give researchers a better understanding of the qualities of data sets. Nonetheless, a number of problems associated with large data sets, outlined in this paper, stand in the way of proper scientific use of the data. Regional scientists should not only take advantage of the new data but they should be prepared to handle the problems associated with them.
